There is so much to say, and so much we could be doing. I’m really proud to be a part of a church that takes Jesus’ words about “taking care of the least of these” seriously. I’ve written two posts about our mission to bring clean water to remote villages in Africa. You can check it out here:

Thanks for shining a light on this tough topic, Annie!

OK, I have to just say that what Amy said about men receiving sexual acts from kids that young makes me sick. That’s horrible that it’s kids that young! My niece is 8,and I can not imagine her being subjected to that. So sad. I am curious about that book, though.

the book “good news about injustice” put out by the international justice mission IS AMAZING! folks should really read it! dateline or 20/20 followed the IJM into brothels in cambodia and nailed LOTS of american men who were receiving sexual acts for VERY LITTLE money from 6, 7 and 8 year olds. one of the men was a family practitioner in the states. seriously, that book will change your life!

Oh I love this post – and I love thinking about international justice. For me, my heart especially beats for the inequalities, poverty and injustice in our very own backyards. Check out http://www.visionatlanta.org or http://www.brokenvoices.org (episode 3 – JUMP) to see more of what I’m talking about and what we’re doing! I’m going over to check out Mocha Club now!

Can’t wait to meet you at She Speaks. Thank you for standing up against these issues. My brother has produced a movie on this very topic that you may be familiar with. It is such a powerful look into the life of sex trafficking. It’s unbelievable to know this is happening all around us.

The issues these people are dealing with are hard to wrap my mind around, to some extent. In some ways it seems too unreal. Probably because of all we have in this country. When I listened to the video, the first thing that strikes me is someone posing the question “what would you do if the only glass of water you got would kill you?”. I can not imagine having that be a reality. Water’s so important to someone’s hidration and nourishment,and it’s horrible to think that a glass of it in your home could kill you.
I checked out MC’s website,and I’m amazed at some of the things I read. I’ve been to third world countries, so I’m not clueless about the concerns. But, some of the things going on in Africa,and the extent of the problems, sound like things you expect to see in movies. Not so much in reality. Reading how the kids suffer really saddens me.

I L.O.V.E. THIS! Makes you re-arrange your thinking. You should pick up “The Hole In Our Gospel”. It’s had me crying for weeks. AWESOME STUFF!

I just finished reading Three Cups of Tea. I was mesmerized by this guy’s persistence in building schools in Pakistan – this ONE person did so much. I’m ONE person – what am I doing today?
